I want to use this in a basement that is turning into a "dog room". The kennels have no bottoms. How will hold up to dog nails and such?

Sorry but I never received from Amazon. Did buy at Home Depot. If appled exactly as pet the direction it should hold up well. Good luck!

If you are actually building the box of a cabinet I would recommend screws. In theory the nails would work, but they will loosen.

I have not complaints and it fits my needs. My dogs do not exceed 30 pounds. The whole that the nail fits into is large enough for a dog of your size and I think it would work fine. However - if you wanted something more sturdy given that you have a bigger dog you may prefer the large. I have no issue with it from a sturdy standpoint with my smaller dogs.

I use mine in the finished basement. I have had no issues with it.Sorry I can't help you with your concern.

You would be able to use it in the basement; however, it does move a bit if it is hit really hard. My son uses it in the garage all the time without being staked down.

That's a tricky question to answer. First off, the product is flimsy, so it will need a good wall surface behind it to support it. It CANNOT go over bare studs. Second, I'm assuming you will want this in a shower, so unless you want rusty nail or screws within few weeks, I wouldn't allow any nail or screw to show. Nevertheless, if this is just going up in a shower that you have in the barn for where you wash the dogs and animals, nailing it would probably work.

I believe the cage will sustain the abuse but may I suggest before you resort to the cage? If you have a basement, let the dogs run free if you don't have alot of clutter. That will decrease their manic behavior and you should be free of the craziness from this point on!

While it would be possible to use a cable lock and secure the top portion to a fence as you would a bike, the bottom has no window or vent through which to do this. I am not sure what someone might do with just the bottom, so that might be enough of a deterent. I will say that the dogs like the house!

I use it in Garage. You would have to check with Rubbermaid if it can stand up to the weather elements.

I just saw elsewhere to use Google and search for metal hardware for dog kennel, and it should come up. I read this at the Petco website, but Amazon has much better pricing. Just try Googling it, and i am pretty sure what you need will come up in your search. I need the same thing.

I think the dog kennel is strong -however my Vizsla can turn it over when inside but mainly because it's light weight. The material is sturdy enough, and the metal frame is great and easy to use. I ordered a second one for the second dog too!

I returned this and have nothing positive to say for meeting my needs, which were different from yours. I also have large Labs (now nine months old), and got two of the Giant versions. The crates were very flimsy and I though they wouldn't keep the dogs in for 30 seconds, if that. The ones I was shipped would not be suitable for outside use. If you dog is small, it might work for inside. Good luck.

You could probably do it. It works well for my two small dogs. There would probably be a bit of a gap where assuming you have baseboards or some kind of trim around the floor.

We have ours on linoleum, so that's not an issue for us. Maybe you could get a linoleum remnant or a floor mat that has a rubber bottom? The pens are very light, so if your dog is heavier, he/she could move it by jumping up on it or pushing it. Our puppies are only a couple of pounds, so they can't, but I know a heavier dog could.

I don't think it would hold up well to that. It has a wood top. I use ours out side but bring it in when I am done.

Yes, absolutely. As long as its inside the doghouse so it doesn't get rained on, then it will work fine for your purpose.

Not sure what your raised kennel floor looks like so it's difficult to answer. i purchased this specifically to RAISE the kennel floor off the cement as these panels are a 2-3 inches high.
